Ionian Islands wedding venues

The Best Wedding Venues in the Ionian Islands, from Corfu to Zakynthos

The Ionian Islands are Greece in a softer colour palette. Olive groves, cypress-covered hills and Venetian buildings replace stark volcanic cliffs, while the sea remains every bit as blue. They suit couples who want the ease of an island wedding, but not necessarily the familiar blue-domed version.

Corfu is the grander of the two destinations in our current collection, with historic estates, handsome villas and gardens that tumble towards the water. Zakynthos feels more laid-back, particularly in the quieter north, where a wedding can become part of a full week of swimming, sailing and long lunches.

Our handpicked Ionian edit has pleasing range: an entire traditional village, a private sea-facing villa with its own jetty, a secluded country estate and a coastal club made for several days of celebrating. These are venues with enough personality to set the tone, rather than simply provide a space.

The islands’ greener landscape is part of their appeal, but it makes a convincing wet-weather plan worth checking. Also ask about accommodation, guest transfers, exclusivity and where music can continue after dinner. For private villas, establish exactly which areas are included in the hire and whether additional infrastructure will be required.
